Description of problem: I have an server plugin--actually an alert plugin--with no configuration options required when creating the alert. This causes an exception to occur in the UI. This plugin pulls configuration from the resource tags. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.5.1 How reproducible: Always See attached plugin descriptor for an example.
It does not stop the plugin from being used, it just raises an error. So it's fairly harmless but confusing for users.

Elias, I don't see the attached descriptor. When does the error show? When adding this plugin as notification sender?
Created attachment 762204 [details] Plugin descriptor Sorry about not including it. The error is harmless, just alarming: It shows 'Globally caught exception' with nothing in the server logs. I'm guessing it's because there are no config options to set. This is on the 'Add Notification' selection screen BTW.
Thanks for the response. Server log shows: 09:18:12,131 ERROR [org.rhq.enterprise.server.alert.AlertNotificationManagerBean] (http-/0.0.0.0:7080-1) org.rhq.core.clientapi.agent.metadata.InvalidPluginDescriptorException: Configuration properties are missing. Resource configurations must have at least one group or one config-property as a child. While I agree, that we should not show this error (in the UI), the solution from the user side is probably to not include an <alert-configuration/> section at all.
